A Paymenter alternative with the VPS panel built in

Paymenter is billing that connects to your panels. NexoVirt is the Proxmox panel with the billing inside, so an order, its payment, its invoice and the server live in one install.

Billing and servers in one install.

With Paymenter you run the billing next to a VPS panel and connect them with an extension. NexoVirt is both, so there is nothing to connect and nothing to keep in sync.

Is Paymenter free and is NexoVirt free?

Paymenter is MIT-licensed and free to self-host, with a managed cloud version from $5 a month (paymenter.org, 5 Nov 2026); its Proxmox extension is a paid resource. NexoVirt's Community Edition is free on 2 nodes without the shop; the shop comes with Business at EUR 79 a month for 20 nodes and Unlimited at EUR 149, incl. VAT.

Stripe and PayPal, as a subscription or prepaid per product, plus a prepaid customer balance. Paymenter lists Stripe, PayPal and Mollie extensions and more in its marketplace.

There is no Paymenter extension for NexoVirt. Paymenter or any other billing system can drive NexoVirt through the REST API and send customers into the portal with one-time login links.

Does NexoVirt import from WHMCS?

No. There is no importer. You create accounts through the REST API or let customers sign up, then assign their running servers. Paymenter has a WHMCS importer for clients, services and invoices.

Yes. Every payment gets a numbered PDF invoice with domestic VAT, EU OSS rates, reverse charge for valid EU VAT IDs, export outside the EU or small-business status, and refunds get a credit note.
